Hello all, 

 

I am creating a form and I have a list box that has three values in it (or four if you include the black space).  I would like a text box to auto-populate with a value based on the value of the list box.  I found this from another thread and have tried to adapt it for my purpose but I am not getting any value to load.  What is posted is modified.

 

event.value = (this.getField("List Box 1").valueAsString=="1")?"": apple

 

Any help would be appreciated

I might still need help with the defining of the name.  I am trying to use what was posted previously first.

 

Thank you for the help that you have provided.

Thank you for this.  I will read it over and see if I can use it to adapt to what I have.

If "apple" is text then it must be in quotes. If it's the name of a variable then you have to define that variable first, and that's not present in the code you posted.
